“It’s not easy for people in the US,” Makhachev told MMAJunkie. “He forgot my last name, but Makhachev is not easy for the Americans, just like Nurmagomedov. I have yet to hear anyone pronounce them correctly, everyone makes some kind of mistake. That’s why it happened, so I’m not worried about it. I’m sure Dana White respects all his champions. I prefer not to think badly of people.”
Makhachev also commented on the words of the head of the UFC that the Russian does not have complete information to criticize the progress of the fight.
“All the journalists ask me the same question, ‘What do you think about the progress of the fight?’ I said I was ready to travel the world and promote this fight, but the UFC doesn’t want that. Two days ago I spoke with Dana White, he said that there is a plan, but so far I have not heard any specifics. ”
Recall that the title superfight in lightweight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski on February 11 will head the UFC 284 tournament in Perth.
